Clinical significance of lasers in dentistry

The term LASER, standing for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, has evolved significantly since its first application in dentistry in 1960. Originally used in light shows, lasers now play a crucial role in various fields, notably dentistry, where they have transformed procedures. In dentistry, lasers are utilized for both hard and soft tissue applications, ranging from caries prevention to wound healing and tissue removal. Their adoption has led to improved treatment outcomes, increased efficiency, and enhanced patient comfort. Ongoing research in laser technology promises further innovations, shaping the future of dental care.
